Truly the mushroom gods have shone their light down on me as I gnash my teeth waylaid with disorganised work that prevents me from spending the spring, as I do typically, unsuccessfully scouring the landscape for suitable ecological and geological pockets where I might find the elusive wild morel, the elusive Welsh morel even more-so. And so it came to pass as I ambled past all the piles of To-Do List surrounding my boat cursing the beauty of spring as it emerges outside of my control, that I spotted a little puff of spores through a sunbeam and a spiders web and lo, and behold it's only a pair of bloody wild Morels right next to my god damn boat 🤯

Hallelujah! Behold my Easter miracle.

Getting this post out there before April Fools just to avoid any doubts!
